Wood Laptop Cooler

• The laptop has been a norm in our current world, so a cooler to the laptop is more common in our days. But there is an issue that 1st the cooler use fan that requires a battery which is pretty bad for a situation when you don't have a charging spot. So a wood cooler uses the traditional method of open some areas for cooling and does not require batteries to make the cooling work. Also compare with the easy break plastic cooler this made of wood will also be more sustainable than a plastic one. The simple design idea is just a cooler no need battery and also it is also harder to break.
• In this project, there will be many elements such as: context or practice that is from the 2020 Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy.

Standards:

#2. Core Concepts of Technology and Engineering

#7. Design in Technology and Engineering Education

Practices:

• Systems Thinking
• Creativity
• Making and Doing
• Collaboration
• Communication
• Critical Thinking

1. A wooden plank that size suits your need

2. A wooden block that will be the holder to the main plank

3.Some liquid nail/ glue

4.Tools: Hand Drill, saw(best table), sandpaper( or machine can also do), saber saw (optional) (Best had access to engineering lab)

Estimated Cost: 17 USD(mine overall cost 17 total, but will change depending on the size of your desired plank.)

Measure the size you wanted to cut the two logs to the same length that you desire, also make sure your plank is the size you want your cooler to be. Just draw the line you wanted to cut your board to be. The plank will be the main body of your cooler so treat it carefully

Doing the cutting must be extra careful. Make sure you cut follows the line and then secure the logs and use your sandpaper to sand them until they got flatten.

Usually, you can just drill a lot of holes but I decided to cut a pattern of a triangle. I used the drill to drill the 3 point of my triangle but this part is up to your design.

Once the sanding and construction of the two-body is done use your glue nail to secure the two blocks like this classic triangle shape and wait for it to dry. When it is done then congrats you got your self a wooden cooler that needs no electricity and yes you can do more deco or enhancement of sanding to make it best suit your preference. Goodluck and enjoy~
